Thanks for the advice guys - you all are a great help!

What do you think about the idea of netting off a small cove, say with the max depth of the net in 3'? I would of course spook out all the bass and channel cats first and then deploy the net. Next I'd plant 500 or so bluegill and then come this fall, remove the net and all the bluegill? We could also feed the bluegill with pellets (if so what pellets would be the best for me to buy and how many pounds and how many times a day?).

As anyone done this here? This might be easier than building another pond next to the lake. I have seen seine nets sold for pretty good prices.

Thanks!!
